Let's Connect TikTok Instagram Episode Summary: Welcome to another uplifting episode of God+Girl, where we’re creating a safe, empowering space for women to lesrn to love God and themselve. Today’s episode is all about perspective. Together, we’ll explore how our viewpoint shapes not only how we navigate life but also how we see God’s purpose unfold in our journey. We’ll discuss the powerful promise in Romans 8:28—that all things work together for our good—and unpack how changing our perspective can shift our reality, even when circumstances seem uncertain. What You’ll Learn: • The importance of focusing on God’s promises, even when life feels overwhelming. • How to align your perspective with the truth that everything happening around you is part of a greater, loving plan. • Practical ways to choose gratitude and hope, even when things don’t go as planned. Scripture Reference: • Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Reflection Questions: 1. In what areas of your life could a shift in perspective reveal God’s blessings? 2. What challenges can you choose to see as growth opportunities rather than setbacks? Call to Action: If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who might need a fresh perspective on their own journey. Remember, you’re not alone on this path. Join our community and let’s continue lifting each other up in faith and love. Tune in, share your thoughts, and keep walking in the assurance that all things are indeed working for your good.
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the importance of letting go of old baggage as we step into new seasons. Often, we carry past hurts, failures, and habits that weigh us down and prevent us from fully embracing the new things God has for us. We’ll discuss how to release the old and walk freely into the new.
Root Scripture: Matthew 9:17
Reflection Question: What is one area of your life where you’re still holding onto the past, and how can you invite God into that space to help you let go?
Call to Action: Take a moment this week to pray and ask God to reveal anything from your past that’s hindering your growth. Journal it, release it to Him, and step boldly into the new things He has for you!

Self-reflection is necessary for personal and spiritual growth.
Root Scripture: Psalm 139: 23-24
Have you been given a word from God but are too afraid of what others might say to pursue it? In this episode we discuss the people who came against Jesus and wanted to kill him all because they didnt believe the word God placed on His heart to share.
Don't let the opinions of others keep you away from God's will
Root Scripture: Luke 4: 26-30
Did you know the thing your afraid of isn't real? It is not stronger than the God you serve! In this episode Lexi B. shares her experience kayaking, all the fear that came before and the overwhelming peace that came after.
Root Scripture 2 Timothy 1:7
What do you do when what you currently see doesnt quite match what you God said?
In this week's episode we talk about dealing with disappointment and also finding the good in your now, even when it doesn't add up to what God has spoken to you.
Root Scripture: Phillippians 4:11-14 NIV
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Is it that God is disappointed in you? Or are you disappointed in yourself?
When we fall short we tend to create distance between us and our Father, projecting how we feel about ourselves onto him. That's what happened when I dropped the ball with this platform and the vision God gave me.
In this episode we will study Luke Chapter 22, where we learn that every part of our stories matter, even the parts we wish we could forget.
How do you know what others are thinking about you? Don't allow your own insecurities and doubts get in the way of what God has already promised you.
Root Scripture: Numbers 13:33.
Also mentioned: 2 Corinthians 10:5
How do I know what God is calling me to? How do I stay in alignment with God? How do I know if I'm hearing from God?
